My fellow Americans, Now more than ever our government needs our help.  For centuries we have believed democracy to be the best form of government, without ever experiencing true democracy.  Greed and corruption have infiltrated our government, and now Democrats and Republicans have become so hopelessly opposed and unwilling to [...]

One of the biggest divides between anarchists is whether or not property, or “ownership” is a legitimate concept.  This post seeks to define and disassemble those differences in order to help each side gain a better understanding of the issue, my thoughts on the issue, and the classic anarchist perspective [...]

Reprinted from KnowBites Once we open up to the idea that alternatives exist that honor individual liberty, while maintaining honor of and with each other, we can freely explore and discuss what some of those options may be. In answer to Kirsten Tynan, (see part 1) who pressed the question [...]

In the first part of this series (here) I argued that Karl Marx’s Individual is the same Individual who appears in the writings of 18th and 19th Century thinkers. Moreover, Marx’s assumptions imply an environment of Hobbes’ war of all against all and an increasingly illiberal, repressive and aggressive, parasitic [...]

Now, perhaps it becomes clearer why Marx, in his exasperation with his own followers, declared, “All I know is that I am not a Marxist.” It was never about the machines, the buildings, the banks, the factories, the farms or profit, taxes and wages — it was about the Individual [...]

I was somewhat surprised to see an interest in the theories of Karl Marx among at least a small section of libertarians, in the form of two recent articles, Brad Warbiany’s “Marxism And Libertarian Exploitation Theory” and Michael O. Powell’s “Rethinking Marx”. Given the continuing distortion among even most Marxists [...]

The state realizes that if it can address an issue it can profit from the issue. Let us take a bill here on the ballot in November. It is being sold as a way to ‘stop puppy mills’. The state has found a villain that many can oppose. In response [...]

↑ Grab this Headline Animator I stumbled across a post from Latin in America: At best, they may think that it stems from Central and South American’s overstaying their welcome in the country en route to the United States. But the majority of illegal immigrants in Mexico are actually from [...]

I hear all sides of the political spectrum argue for their ‘rights’.

I reject the concept of liberty, [...]

Originally posted at C4SS by Anna Morgenstern If you have an interest in a stateless society, you need to understand what the state is. Otherwise you could end up chasing shadows, and many self-proclaimed anarchists often do so, unfortunately. When you look around you, you can see examples of its [...]

Are you authorized to exist within the confines of the state? Have you been cataloged and placed in big brothers database? The right has gone on a rampage against migrants. The hypocritical belief seems to be that liberty and freedom should be afforded to those that are born into it [...]

British officer: You call yourself a patriot, and a loyal subject to King George?Hawkeye: I don’t call myself “subject” to much of anything.Hawkeye explains the foundational tenet of the American worldview to a self-important armed government functionary offended by the frontiersman’s principled defiance; from the 1992 version of Last of [...]

“It serves to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration….agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one….against another….it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption…thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of [...]
